Elders are men who are qualified and appointed to oversee the church.
The Bible helps us understand their responsibilities by comparing them to shepherds.

Elders lead the church: they care for the people who belong to it,
they see to it that they are fed with all the teaching and support they need to develop and grow strong as believers,
they protect them from wrong teaching and they hold them accountable to God's word.

Elders must set a good example.
They must understand and be able to teach God's word correctly and they must be able to refute wrong teaching.

To understand the role of an elder better, look up these Bible references.
